Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2

Dice the onion into small, even pieces and grate the cheese if not pre-grated.

3

Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and a pinch of salt, then cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden. Monitor closely to avoid overcooking.

4

While the onion cooks, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the salt and black pepper, then whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

5

Stir the grated cheese into the egg mixture.

6

Pour the egg mixture over the cooked onion in the skillet. Gently tilt the pan so the egg fills the edges evenly. Do not stir.

7

Cook for 4–5 minutes over medium-low heat until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly wobbly.

8

Scatter the remaining cheese evenly over the top, then transfer the skillet to the oven.

9

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is just set when gently shaken. Test for doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out clean.

10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a crispy crust, ensure the skillet is well-oiled and allow the edges to cook thoroughly before transferring to the oven. To check if the frittata is cooked, look for a slightly puffed appearance and a center that isn't jiggly.
